farkuhar:thanks, that's very intersting regarding the behavior of the git driver. Ended up using prtsweep (and removing ~15G of files).
<dim44>
*sorry mistype
<SiFuh>
git is good
<ukky>
Setting PKGMK_SOURCE_DIR, PKGMK_PACKAGE_DIR, and PKGMK_WORK_DIR is another option to cleaning ports. Similar to setting out-of-tree build directory to compile Linux kernel.
<SiFuh>
I specifically use this because I have a USB external drive that I use to swap between machines
<SiFuh>
But I do recommend setting a different PKGMK_PACKAGE_DIR for each machine since each package may be compiled a little differently
<SiFuh>
If you are cloning machines then don't worry
<ukky>
Are you using PKGMK_PACKAGE_DIR to point to external media?
<SiFuh>
Yep
<SiFuh>
Diskspace ;-)
<SiFuh>
My distfiles, packages, ports and work are on an external disk
<SiFuh>
You can share all directories but as I said before your packages should really be unique to the machine.
<ukky>
I have to switch my old 32-bit laptop to CRUX and learn how to build 32-bit packages on a 64-bit machine. It takes days to upgrade packages on that laptop (currently Gentoo-32).
<SiFuh>
Should be easy
<farkuhar>
No need to put work on an external disk though, if you have enough memory to build in RAM.

<farkuhar>
is it worthwhile to consider the wear-leveling that a SSD might suffer (even a large one), when weighing whether to invest in enough RAM for build jobs as big as QT6?
<ukky>
BTW, I tested compilation in RAM (Chromium was tested) and it does not make much difference compared to HDD build.
<SiFuh>
farkuhar: I am always concerned about this. THe external drive is SSD and I care not about it but it has survived many compilations. One would assume that SSD's would be same quality as RAM, but can we be sure?
<farkuhar>
I always thought RAM was subject to stricter quality control than SSD, but I suppose it won't make too big a difference in lifespan unless you compile huge ports like QT6 on a daily basis.
<SiFuh>
For me it is kind of reverse thinking. RAM does what it does. Been doing it for decades. So can handle constant re-writes
<SiFuh>
Anyways not my field so I can only speculate
<farkuhar>
Back in 1999, Weird Al Yankovic could supposedly afford a system with 100 GiB of RAM ("It's All About the Pentiums"). Here we are a quarter century later, and I'm still too cheap to upgrade beyond 64 GiB.
<SiFuh>
I really liked that song
<ukky>
How many threads for 64 GiB? Maybe that is enough.
